[Hook: Missy Elliott & Nicole Wray]
Why you all in my grill?
(Why? Why? Why?)
Can you pay my bills?
(Can you pay my bills?)
Let me know if you will
(Let me know, boy, boy)
Cuz a chick gotta✦ live
(A chick got to live, ooh yeah)
[Bridge: Missy Elliott & Nicole Wray]
Third time (Third time)
I moved✦ you in, took you back in my life (I was a fool)
I don't know what's wrong with me
Third time (Third time)
I moved✦ you in, took you back in my life (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 3: MC Solaar]
Zigzag✦ zigzag,✦ oui, j'ai dû zigzaguer
De comète en planète face à l'OPEP aux aguets
Shoot dans des canettes, quand y'a plus d'bisous
Plus d'baisers, plus d'bises,✦ juste un biz-biz de bijoux✦
Tu veux du cling-cling clinquant, Louis Vuitton? Pas qu'ça!
Top du top rien-ça,✦ plus Merco Classe A
Je braquerai✦ les banques, toutes,✦ puis ferai✦ banqueroute
Boufferai✦ des casse-croûtes juste pour paver d'or ta route
J'jouerai✦ à cache-cache pour trouver l'cash
Userai✦ de la kalash,✦ de la tchatche, j'vendrai✦ même du hash
Taulard puis jet-set,✦ clean, honnête et net
T'offrirai✦ des tas d'poupées pleines de p'tites✦ pépètes
J'aurai✦ les poches✦ vides✦ (vides),✦ porterai✦ l'même jean (jean)
Lèverai✦ mon verre à la tienne, tu diras✦ tchin-tchin
T'auras✦ tout ce que sur terre le soleil fait briller
Joueras au Monopoly, uh, avec des vrais billets
[Bridge: Missy Elliott & Big Boi]
If you want me, where's✦ my dough
Give me money,✦ buy me clothes✦
No need for talking,✦ have my dough
Where's✦ my money,✦ where's✦ my clothes?✦
If you want me, where's✦ my dough
Give me money,✦ buy me clothes✦
No need for talking,✦ have my dough
Where's✦ my money,✦ where's✦ my clothes?✦ (Aight, uh)
[Chorus: Missy Elliott (Nicole Wray)]
Why you all in my grill? (All in my grill)
Can you pay my bills? (Can you pay my bills, yeah)
Let me know if you will (Let me know if you will)
'Cause a chick gotta✦ live (Oh, yeah)
Why you all in my grill?
Can you pay my bills? (Ooh, pay my bills)
Let me know if you will (Let me know, let me know baby,✦ baby)✦
'Cause a chick gotta✦ live (A chick like me, I got to live)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

MC Solaar brings a sophisticated, polysyllabic French-rap sensibility to the track, prioritizing rhythmic flow and internal assonance over simple rhyming, successfully bridging the gap between European lyrical complexity and American G-Funk production standards.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Juste un biz-biz de bijoux"

① A reference to small, trivial business or commerce.② A phonetic reduction for the 'biz' (business) of jewelry, highlighting the transactional nature of the relationship.

"Je braquerai les banques, toutes, puis ferai banqueroute"

① Literal act of robbing banks.② The paradoxical state of being 'broke' (banqueroute) while simultaneously attempting to provide wealth (paving the route with gold) for the partner.

Exceptional rhythmic density

Playful use of phonetics ('biz-biz', 'cling-cling')

High-level technical execution of French multi-syllabics

Thematic adherence to the 'grill' (materialism) concept

Non-Francophone listeners lose the nuance of the double meanings

Slightly disjointed thematic transition between the abstract cosmic imagery and the materialist conclusion
